Free Comic Book Day returns

Free Comic Book Day will take place on Saturday, May 3, offering customers a free comic book at participating stores.

The annual event pairs freebies with other activities as a way to promote the rare, but lasting, breed of comic book stores.

Participating stores include Heroes & Villains in Hampton, the Amazing Fantasy stores in Newport News and Yorktown, the Jersey’s Cards and Comics stores in Hampton and York County, and Bender’s in Hampton, among others in the area.
